Before you begin cooking, measure out all of your ingredients. This “mise en place” ensures a smooth and efficient cooking process.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once melted, add the Texas Pete Hot Sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to combine.

Turn the heat down to low and simmer the sauce, stirring now and then, for about ten minutes, so that the flavors can develop harmoniously.

If needed, taste your sauce and adjust the seasonings. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a bit of honey or brown sugar to balance the heat.

Your Texas Pete Wing Sauce is now ready to be slathered over freshly cooked chicken wings. Serve immediately and watch your guests marvel at the depth of flavors.
